Development of the Muscular System Flashcards
The muscular system develops from which germ layer?
Mesoderm
Musculature of the axial skeleton, body wall, and limbs is derived from what?
Somites
Each somite differentiates into 3 distinct cell populations. What are these?
1) the dermatome
2) the myotome
3) the sclerotome
What do dermatome cells form?
The dermis
What do myotome cells form?
Segmental musculature
What do sclerotome cells form?
The vertebrae and ribs
In the third week the intraembryonic mesoderm lateral to the notochord and neural tube thicken to form what?
Two longitudinal columns of paraxial mesoderm
Toward the end of the third week the columns of paraxial mesoderm become what?
Segmented into blocks of mesoderm called somites
Where is the sclerotome located?
Ventromedial
Where are the dermatome and myotome located?
Dorsolateral
The paraxial mesoderm and the somatic layer of lateral plate mesoderm give rise to what?
Mesenchymal structures of the limbs
The paraxial mesoderm gives rise to what?
somites and the dermis
The intermediate mesoderm gives rise to what?
the kidneys and associated ducts, as well as the epididymis and vas deferens in the male, and the vagina, uterine tubes, uterus of the female
Somatic and Splanchnic Mesoderm are derived from what?
Lateral Plate Mesoderm
Somatic Mesoderm gives rise to what?
- Parietal pleura
- Parietal pericardium
- Parietal peritoneum
- Connective tissue and skeleton of the body wall and limbs
Splanchnic Mesoderm gives rise to what?
- Heart
- Blood vessels and blood cells
- Parts of the gonads
- Smooth muscle of viscera and blood vessels
- The visceral pleura
- Pericardium and peritoneum
- The mesenteries
- The cortex of the adrenal gland
From External to Internal the basic layers of the embryo are what?
1) Epidermis
2) Muscle and Bone
3) Endoabdominal fascia
4) Parietal Pleura or Peritoneum
5) Intraembryonic coelom (pleural cavity)
6) Visceral pleura or peritoneum
7) Gut tube
8) Endothelium of gut tube
9) Opening of gut tube continuous with mouth and anus
Originally how many pairs of somites are there?
43; but many of the coccygeal somites degenerate
The myotome differentiates into what two layers?
- Epimere
- Hypomere
The epimere gives rise to what?
Deep Muscles of the Back
The hypomere gives rise to what?
Skeletal Muscle of the trunk and most or all of Limb muscles
Which ramus supplies the epimere and which supplies the hypomere?
Dorsal Ramus supplies the epimere
Ventral Ramus supplies the hypomere
3 directions the sclerotome cells migrate
1) Posteromedial Migration
2) Anteromedial Migration
3) Anterolateral Migration
Sclerotome cells that migrate posteromedial become what?
- Neural Arch
- Lamina
- Transverse and Spinous Processes
